O'Donnell's Radio Tantrum Shows She's Not Ready
During a recent interview, a Delaware station captured on video an amazing glimpse of Christine O'Donnell's imperiousness and entitlement.
Delaware radio station WDEL captured on video an amazing glimpse of Christine O'Donnell's imperiousness and entitlement. It's visible on Facebook, here at the 11:40 mark.
ABC sums up what happened next.
After the show, O’Donnell’s campaign manager Matt Moran called the station manager to demand that the video be destroyed and threatened to “crush” the station with a lawsuit if it was not, according to WDEL’s account of the incident.
“He accused us of creating a story to garner ratings because we must be hurting since the Phillies were no longer on the air,” WDEL general manager Michael Reath told the Associated Press. Moran has denied using the word “crush.”
The station reports it later received an apology from the O’Donnell campaign, and O’Donnell spokesman Doug Sachtleben said in a video interview that there is “no threat to sue DEL.”
But after you watch O'Donnell's outburst, it's worth rewinding to see her at what she would deem her best, in what you'd think by now would be a carefully honed opening statement. Starts at 2:20, goes to 3:10. It's really a breathtaking display of not knowing what you are talking about, utter economic air-headedness.
